In this episode of the Cuick 10 Podcast, host Derek White (COO, Cuick Trac) sits down with Mike Bramm, Owner & CTO at BomberJacket Networks, to unpack what it really takes to pass a CMMC assessment—and why most failures start by skipping Phase 1.

Mike explains the importance of readiness assessments, how the Lead CCA role helps ensure structure and accountability, and why implementation is often more valuable than just getting assessed. He also shares candid insights on DIB contractors still in denial, and how culture—not tooling—is what determines success.
